Injustice: Gods Among Us Battle Edition Arcade Stick

ok thanks a lot.
sorry to be a pain but could you provide me with an example of what i would have to buy?

I’m going to be doing an LED ball top mod.

You guys think it’ll be possible to parallel off some power from the stock LED controller?

Thank you everyone for all these helpful post especially you kaihong <3 anyways just thought I would share my fight stick.

Remove the Sanwa JLF’s Mount place and use the mount plate that comes with the Qanba joystick.

Here’s an art and button mod I did for my buddy. Sanwa switches and new art.

Let me know how you do it plz, because I want to do the same thing! :slight_smile:

I think you can tap the power cable used to power the Joystick LEDs.

That simple? I thought you had to dremel your own holes to get the LS-32 to fit. Easier with Sanwas?

I was thinking about. I’m going to have to figure out how to draw the parallel power from it though. I’m no good with electricity.

You cut and splice wire from the ribbon that powers the Joystick LEDs for the ball top or you can solder a 2nd set of wires directly to the PCB.
Some Multi-meter action would be required to find the polarity (or trial and error)

Forgive me if this has already been stated in this long thread, but has anyone tried replacing the PCB with the PS360+ or equivalent to make the stick compatible with 360 and PS3? I have the 360 Injustice fight stick and I opened it up and was following the guide on focus attack.com for installing the PS360+ and it looks incredibly difficult to replace the PCB on the stick because of there it’s located. Anyone have any advice or suggestions?

You answered your own question. Dremel work is only for the LS-32.

You’d have known if you simply read through the past few pages in the thread.

I’m not totally clear on this; I want to put some Sanwa switches in the stock buttons, is that doable by just taking out the plunger? Is it a mod worth doing?

Heres how to remove led boards to swap switches.

Thanks!!

If you bother to read the thread, I already provided a link with someone who already had, me.

Well, Gamestop shipped this out to me at 11PM which I didn’t expect so now I get to read all this again and see whether to attempt some mods or try to unload it. Love the look of the stick so if I can get it all buttery all the better. Hoping that I’ll be able to raid some parts out of my HRAP EX so I can take my time on deciding a custom theme. Believe the stick is a JLF, though a slightly different model if I remember correctly; hopefully still similar enough to frankenstein it. The one thing I can’t tell from looking at the photos though is if that’s a separate cutout in the button where a wire connects to the PCB assuming that’s how the LEDs get power. Too bad since the HRAP has some really nice looking translucent buttons in it that would be killer with the lighting. I’m sure I’ll have a dozen more dumb questions once the stick actually gets here.

Incorrect! The Injustice’s joystick is not a Sanwa JLF. It just happens the Qanba joystick inside is compatible with some parts from a JLF. Please read the whole thread before commenting.

Oh no, I meant in the HRAP EX that I have sitting around. I believe that the stick in the HRAP EX is a Sanwa JLF-TM-8 but I’m not sure how comparable that is to the JLF-TP-8 that seems to be the standard model available now. Guess I’ll open up the HRAP in a little bit and see if there’s a model number on the stick and how it looks compared to what kaihong was dealing with.

Update- Man, I forgot how annoying that case was to get into. Definitely a Sanwa stick and looks just like the photos in the thread so I’m feeling good about being able to emulate the process. A little annoying that the stick is soldered to the board instead of using a harness but I’m not afraid of a little solder so that should be a fairly minor impediment though annoying if I ever find someone desperate for a Rose theme HRAP EX. There’s also no markings at all on the buttons I used and can’t remember if they’re Sanwa or Seimitsu, either way they’re the screw variety and hopefully will prove compatible.

FWIW, I ended up using it for a few hours wanting to really like it but ultimately unloaded mine on eBay a few weeks ago (yes, I’m the one that created this thread!). If it was the only stick I own then I probably wouldn’t mind modding it. IMHO, it’s a mid-tier stick at best but just too much work (dremeling the bottom of Sanwa buttons to make the OEM LED’s fit in there with Sanwa SW-68 microswitches, using spacers to make a JLF fit, adding weights, etc.) to make it a quality top-tier stick (just not motivated enough to do all that easy yet tedious work). A little annoyed (I’m over it, ha!) WB didn’t allow PDP to announce (before launch date) exactly what components (manufacturer) would be inside of it but I guess now we all know why though most of us suspected it wouldn’t be top-tier components from Sanwa or Seimitsu anyway. Love the semi-grippy rubber texture (spray on?!?) of the case & LED lights…but that was it! I probably wouldn’t pay no more than $75 for it but that’s just me. Also wasn’t feeling the Namco Noir/Astro City button layout.

If you guys/gals don’t care about the LED’s (vibration option in-game aka damage when you get hit) then for around $60 the Qanba stick (forgot the model name) is the better option (if you’re ok with a Vewlix button layout & a ball-top) since it’s less expensive, includes a table mount/clamp, octo/circular gates, button plugs (for the last 2), USB-cable storage compartment & has the same exact components in the Injustice stick minus the LED’s:
